Wednesday August 14th, 7:30 pm at Kaleideum North the Forsyth Astronomical Society will have its regularly scheduled monthly meeting. We will have a three part program for this month’s meeting. The first portion will be a video from the BBC Sky at Night series that examines upcoming plans to return to the moon as a wrap up of the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo Moon Landing.
Part two will be a short presentation from club member Dr. Paul Jones where he discusses his recent trip to Argentina this past July to catch the the solar eclipse.
Part three will be an airing of the video FAS VP Justin Nichols captured of the fireworks that were visible at our 4th of July observation atop Pilot Mt.
Following the presentation portion, we will have a brief business/planning meeting and as always, there will be an informal social gathering 30 minutes or so before the meeting. Come early for the best choice of doughnuts. All meetings are open to the public, free of charge and all are welcome. Hope to see you there.

Dues are $35/year for the basic membership, $40/year for a dual vote membership and our student rate is still $5/year.
